How to structure it

Opening

Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.

Middle

One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.

Why this employer

One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.

Close

Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.

Re: Application for Fast Food Cook

I am applying for the Fast Food Cook role at [Company Name]. I have worked in quick service kitchens where speed and consistency matter, and I am comfortable on the fryer, griddle and assembly line.

At my last job, I ran the burger assembly station during Friday night trade. I prepped sauces and salad before the rush and kept the kitchen order display clear, which helped the team work through a steady queue without orders backing up. I also took responsibility for checking cooked chicken and chips with the probe thermometer, keeping hot-held items within safe limits and cutting down on waste from food sitting too long.

I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to bring my reliability and food safety habits to your kitchen.

Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to talk about how I can support your team.

Getting it right

Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.

This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
